Change Management when moving your MAT/LA to Arbor

This article provides guidance on change management for Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) & LAs transitioning to Arbor. It emphasises the importance of effective communication strategies to ensure staff engagement and minimise resistance during the change process. Key topics include the purpose of change communication, factors for successful change, and common causes of resistance, along with strategies to encourage engagement.

You may have already thought about your approach to change management within your organisation, you may have already completed a fair few 'change projects' and have this covered already from previous experience.

If you haven't yet thought about this don't worry! We will take you through this when we hold your MAT discovery session if you have purchased Programme Management time.

This article to give you some guidance if you want to get ahead in terms of thinking about things such as your communication strategy with schools. We want your staff to work 'with' the change not 'against' it. Communication is key and we can work with your to get your change management strategy right

Please note the following can vary for a GroupCall API migrator, we are working on adding the GroupCall Migrator specifications to this guide. If you need to raise any data discrepancies post migration please contact Arbor support or your dedicated partner and we will be advised of the next steps.
